Since I've shut down Keezi and I still want a female character. I'm posting a much more intimidating and fleshed out character into the mix. Enjoy. [hider= Jessibelle Ad Fortuna][b]Name:[/b] Jessibelle Ad Fortuna [b]Age:[/b] 46 (Claims to be 29.) [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Race:[/b] Ahs Chini(oz- chee nee) [b]Theme Song:[/b] [youtube]DUmq1cpcglQ[youtube] [b]Random descriptors:[/b] Intelligent, Powerful, Manipulative, Intimidating. Heavy: Weighing 2,400 lbs. Chitin is more dense than bone. [b]Character Tier:[/b] Intermediate. [b]Character Type:[/b] Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant [b]Racial Description:[/b] What could be easily mistaken for your commonplace 'Drider' or 'Jorogumo' is an Ahs Chini. Originating from the same Earth as LeeRoy, the Ahs Chini are a subterranian arachnid race. The main difference from Driders or Jorogumo is the anatomy. More closely related to Tarantulas they have ten limbs, the eight underneath their bodies and their two forearms. They are, in fact, still a strange amalgom of arachnids and homonids. Their upper half is quite similar to humans, they have breasts if they are female of course. (I'll explain in a moment why.) The bridge connecting them to their arachnid half is what appears to be an extended spinal column and torso, this bridge is heavily jointed and plated with chitin. This thorax was an evolutionary trait to defend the upper half from being easily ripped off. Often compared to: Take the body of a centipede and stick a human torso on it and then stick that on top of a headless tarantula. The Ahs Chini were once your average arachnids in appearance, save for their immense size, they are incredibly predatory and primarily feasted on humans. Over time they evolved to trick humans, much like Sirens they took on humanoid appearances. Their upper half was used to draw in humans. Their faces and bodies were designed to trick humans into believing they too were humans, albeit usually in distress, and then once they were in reach? Well it was too late. The lower half of their jaw is an incredible illusion, their entire neck opens up to reveal massive fangs that can cut your average human in half. There are four in total, two shorter ones on top and a pair of longer ones on bottom. In their throat is an incredibly long manipulative tongue, capable of wrapping around a man's waist and holding him in place while the fangs work on his body. Mind you, they have teeth. These teeth are purely cosmetic and serve only to show you that they're "human." They fit behind the lips as normal teeth do. As years went past the Ahs Chini and humans evolved and the arachnids needed a more convenient and plentiful food source. They began feasting on livestock, and eventually began domesticating their own animals for consumption. The human appearance stayed as the years went by, eventually becoming almost exactly parallel to humans in their ability to move and communicate with their upper halves. While, of course, keeping their great hidden fangs. The Ahs Chini grew to populate damn near the entirety of the underground of Earth, becoming as plentiful as humans in their day. As time went by they developed lungs almost exactly like human's as well, book lungs were horribly inneficient for their size. They would have to hibernate after one day of being awake. Normal lungs made them incredibly dangerous, now on a day and night sleep cycle instead of a one day one week cycle. No relation to elves, not spirits, but simple evolutionary lineage. There's of course, several ranks and deviations among them. But explaining that would take days. [b]Physical Description:[/b] Jessibelle herself is the Empress of the Eastern and Northern Ahs Chini dwellings, having conquered the Northern when she was younger. Adorned from neck to abdomen she wears a long flowing golden and violet robe that hides her thorax from view. With a coloration pattern similar to a Ladybird Spider adorning what isn't covered by clothing. The skin on her upper body is hairless and glossy black chitin, on her head is silver flowing hair that dangles across her chest and down onto her backside. Her eyes are shining charcoal spheres. She carries herself elegantly trotting almost like a horse as she walks, she holds herself at a reasonable distance from the ground. Even though she stands fifteen feet tall at full extension of her legs she holds herself at seven feet to maintain eye contact with those around her. When exposed her mouth has two foot long fangs, containing a potent cytotoxin. When exposed these drip and ooze the clear orange fluid. She wears a few rings and paints her fingernails, which are about two inches long from the tip of her fingers. Overall she's an incredibly classy woman, despite being a giant half spider, and it shows. Oh, and she's got large "breasts" at least D's. However, these are purely cosmetic, as are all breasts among Ahs Chini. They're arachnids, not mammals. [b]Personality Description:[/b] If you saw Jessibelle walking towards you one of two reactions would happen; Fearful running or frozen in shock. If you happen to stay she'll introduce herself eloquently with deliberance and every bit of politeness you would see in the Queen of England herself. If you run from her she'll chase you and smile as she shows her toothy grin. When she catches you she'll antagonize you in a way that you couldn't imagine. By complimenting you, treating you like a normal person. And it's effective. She knows it is. When she sees someone who doesn't shy away from her appearance she gets the silliest little grin on her face. Jessibelle is a manipulative woman, anyone is her plaything when she gets her eyes set on you. No matter how powerful you are. Jessibelle shows no fear, even in the face of certain death. In fact, you might see excitement if you show that you can kill her. Nothing makes her happier than a challenge. Trying to put a bead on Jessibelle is like trying to explain how the universe works to a kindergartener. [b]Skills, Powers, and Abilities:[/b] -[Intermediate]Wordsmith: Decades of study into the various Earthen languages she is a universal translator for any language. Able to grasp and learn a language in only a few days she'll sit down and learn an Extraterrestrial language just to speak to you on equal ground. Every word that she speaks is finely calculated and with deliberate accents to make sure every word has meaning. -[Intermediate]Military Strategist: As the leader of her own nations she has sat down and studied military strategy in historical and modern forms. She's well read and can apply everything that she has read and heard on the battlefield. -[Low]Proficiency with Weapons and Hand to Hand Combat: Taking the time to hire profesional warriors and martial artists she has studied under masters of every Earth Martial art and can utilize every Earth weapon. Forced to fight with an extra six pairs of legs she has learned how to use her ability to climb walls to her advantage. While she relies solely on her upper body for combat she is more than capable of getting around it. -[High]Genius Intellect: With a rather large brain in that head of hers she is a historian, politician, psychoanalyst, tactician, and a studious member of the literary community. She uses her knowledge to manipulate those around her. -[Intermediate]Psychokinesis: The ability to exert force with her mind, this is a relatively weak power to be honest. Capable of only three feats with this power. Utilizing her great mental abilities she can manipulate the area around her, although she is limited to only one target at a time she can use these abilities well. Every single one of these requires her absolute focus on the target, otherwise she can't use them. In mid use if she loses focus the attack will simply dissintegrate. They are visible attacks, moving only as fast as a professional boxer's punch. These are not bullets. [list][*]Psychokinetic Push:[/*] Like a punch from Muhammad Ali or Andre the Giant, this is a single burst attack. Even though it's a single use it can be used in succession. [*]Psychokinetic Slice:[/*] In a quick wave she fires a slicing attack capable of cutting into concrete and stone. This cannot be fired multiple times in a row, it requires the most focus of the three. (Best way to put it: It can only be used once every two posts. Only counting mine, not the opponent's.) [*]Psychokinetic Pull:[/*]This is the opposite of the push in every way, it causes no physical pain and is substantially weaker. Any object under 200 lbs that she focuses on can be pulled to her and suspended in the air at her leisure. This is the easiest one to break her focus with, if she looks away from the object for one moment she'll lose focus. [/list] -[Intermediate]Chitin Thickness: Substantially harder than steel this shell covers her from head to toe. It is thicker than skin by a half inch and is hard as bronze. Despite its hardness it shatters like stone and glass when sufficient force is applied to it. -[Low]Claws: The nails on the ends of her fingers are more than just for show, they're two inches long and half an inch thick. With a similar hardness to rhinocerous horn they are deadly and can be used to gore you. -[Low]Wall Climbing: She's a spider dude, her lower half is covered in hairs that grip walls and ceilings. She can travel up walls with ease. -[Intermediate]Enhanced Abilities: Ahs Chini are superior to humans physically. [list][*]Stronger:[/*] Twice as capable as the strongest man in the known worlds, Jessibelle can lift 1,290 lbs. [*]Faster:[/*] Twice as fast as Usain Bolt they can run at 52 mph, they do not get hindered while climbing walls or ceilings. [*]More Energy:[/*]While they aren't persistance hunters like Humans they can go through several hours of manual labor without tiring.[/list] -[Intermediate]Webbing: She can shoot it from her anterior spinneret at long range, this incredibly dense material flies out fast enough to knock a cow over. And she can weave this thread from her spinneret and if she does manage to get you wrapped up in it you'd best be strong. The threading is as thick and stronger than suspension bridge cable. -[Low]Cytotoxic Venom: From her fangs is a potent and deadly venom, this is a flesh eating venom. If you get bit by this you're gonna lose some skin if you don't get it treated. And by some, I mean you'll see bone. [b]Character Equipment:[/b] -[Low]A Simple Crucible Steel Saber: In the hands of a human being this weapon is simply a durable and flexible sword designed to be used on horseback. Since Jessibelle's upper body can be held at the same height as a mounted knight she uses this blade to reach enemies who think they're clever by going underneath her. The scabbard is held on top of her forwardmost leg, it is incredibly ornately adorned with gold and ebony wood. [b]Character History:[/b] Jessibelle's past is shrouded in mystery, buried deeply by destroying all known documents of her past. She knows full well what happened in her past, she just doesn't want you knowing. What she will let you know, however, is how she came to be the Empress of the Eastern and subsequently Northern Ahs Chini domains. At the age of 16 she was a gifted and sadistic young girl, she took it upon herself to work her way into the upper eschelons of society. Not caring for the mundane day to day workings of normal folk she decided to give herself to a high society official. Using that as the first stepping stone she moved on to bigger fish. Being introduced as the 'liason to the younger generation' to other officials she worked on seducing them. Which, guess what's easy to do to men with a lot of power? Seduction worked wonders for Jessibelle, she gained a following of the people because she took to television and communicated to the entire generation of her peers. This was just step one in her plan. After effectively brainwashing her peers to see her as an amazing individual she started killing politicians and kings, eventually coming down to the first man she had ever seduced. Taking great pleasure he was the only one she spoke to as he died. What words she said are of no concern to the story, and are far too dark for a younger audience. Eventually the only official left was the Emperor himself and her. Using her cunning she "came to him for help" she was "fearful for her life" as the last politician. It took months of work but she finally got him alone, she started filming. Jessibelle singlehandedly killed the Emperor of the last generation and took his throne as the ruler. Oh yes, she was regailed, having told the people of the Emperor's "crimes." What crimes you ask? The murders of every politician and royal family member.

He can run at 52 mph.[/*] [*]Exceptionally Enhanced Senses: His nose, ears, eyes, nerves, and tongue are almost five times the ability of an average human.

Somewhere about a year into his journey he decided to visit the Ahs Chini in their homeland, seeing this as a good idea he went in and wound up on the doorstep of Jessibelle. This was only a year or so after she had conquered the Eastern Empire. So he met Jessibelle when she was about 21 years old, they had a few drinks and a fling or two. Jessibelle eventually talked him into working at her side, this was a pretty sweet deal. The job was pretty basic, prevent people from attempting to assassinate her. Somewhere along the line he decided to undergo surgery and biological reconfiguration to better serve her, becoming a mutant supersoldier to become the best. And the best he was. He has faithfully served by her side for 25 years.[/hider]
